Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $98,547 of the $149,691 with a category attached, or 65.8%. Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. accounts for 98.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $57,298, more than ten times the $359 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in MI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 303 payments — averaging $494.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. | 291 | $147,497 |
| PTC Therapeutics, Inc. | 6 | $1,555 |
| Amgen(2 entities) | 3 | $375 |

| Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. | 1 | $30 |
What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
